Then, the stain being oil based will amber it. That might be why you think it has a green cast. I haven't seen this island in a few months, but it probably still looks gray browny, not green. When you choose your base coat, make sure it's in the gray browny tones, not the gray greeny tones. If you look at the wall of paint samples in the store, you'll see what I mean.Lynda Bergman Decorative Artisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849271278750525374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200038936204946004.post-88970144958219356142014-10-15T18:18:54.316-05:002014-10-15T18:18:54.316-05:00Thank you so much.

I just finished my first e-book about using gel stains to look like brush strokes. My next e-book will be step by step using gel stains in a different way to look like this island. Anyway, hope that helps. And, always make samples to see how it will turn out.Lynda Bergman Decorative Artisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849271278750525374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200038936204946004.post-47077325877966687492014-10-15T15:47:53.249-05:002014-10-15T15:47:53.249-05:00Hello..can you please tell me what colors you used...Hello..can you please tell me what colors you used to get this beautiful look?<br />thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295800694286150627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200038936204946004.post-7503163613215041232014-06-15T14:13:42.848-05:002014-06-15T14:13:42.848-05:00Thank you so much!!
